Can't get enough Futurama
In Color

What to expect

Here is the line up for the next weeks:
  • Jan 20th: 'Bendless Love' (rerun)
  • Jan 27th: 'Parasites Lost' (rerun)
  • Feb 3rd: no Futurama, Super Bowl

    The good thing: Europe gets the Season 1 DVD set with 13 episodes in the UK on January 28th for about £32 and in Germany on Feb 7th for about €36. They are region 2 discs, so make sure you have a region free DVD player or live within Europe. Amazon UK and DE ship world wide if you do have such a player.

    The bad thing: I was told that Futurama wasn't renewed for season 5 yet. Last year they did that on January 5th. Let's hope.

    Hey kinda forgot and don't know, but what season is Futurama in now?

    The question every Futurama fan is thinking is why in gods name are they showing 2 repeat season 3 episodes in a row before showing a new season 4 episode?

    answer: Because Fox wants to pad season 4 out so much they can get two years out of it and not have to pay to get season 5 renewed until this time next year, they better renew or I will feel like dieing and will be so depressed.

    Season 1: 9 episodes
    Season 2: 20 episodes
    Season 3: 15 episodes
    Season 4: Only God knows

    This is the aired episodes. There is a difference between production seasons and airing seasons.

    The production season is:

    Season 1: 13 episodes
    Season 2: 19 episodes
    Season 3: 19 episodes (I think)
    Season 4: ?

    Stupid FOX. Why do they keep sending reruns, when they have all thoose unaired season3 and season 4 episodes. Are they saving the new ones for a day where they can preempt them at the last minute!? Their collective braincell must be in for repair, idiots!!

    Good news on the DVD, can't wait. Only 13 more days. :)

    Lets hope the renewal will come soon.

    For those who'd like more info on the DVD you can go to play.com and search region 2 titles for Futurama. They list the complete contents of the set, while Amazon only has a review.

    As far as buying from Amazon.co.uk from America, I bought a DVD that way once before I moved to the UK, and unfortunately their shipping policies are a bit funky for international mail. If you go with normal Royal Mail delivery expect a looong wait for it, or you may choose the more expensive DHL route, I believe.

    Not to troll, and trust me I'm a huuuuge fan of Futurama, I'm not so sure about a season five happening. I feel that Fox is itching to syndicate and watch the royalties roll in more than make another season.

    Dumb Dude: Futurama is currently in it's 4th season. Although all aired new episodes are from the 3ACV batch.

    Furthermore, "Aint No Such Thing As Too Much Amy Wong" has a very thorough review of the DVD set. Complete with contents, screengrabs and spoilers.
